Solid half of football, big first possession in the second half, if SF gets points of any type that could loom large with the way Seattle is playing offensively. Outside of the one big pass on the never ending scramble by Wilson they haven't done anything and Lynch hasn't gotten going yet either. Kaepernick needs to remain mistake free, for some reason I'm ultra paranoid that at some point Seattle will come out showing that same man press single high safety look and then drop into a cover 3 and Kaepernick will throw a back breaking int. If there is one thing that worries me about Kaepernick at times it's the times he seems to drop back and just fire it to someone based on a pre-snap look instead of verifying what he saw pre-snap after the snap.

It happening after the incompletion makes it a dead ball foul so doesn't change possession as a result of the previous play. There has been worse, certainly, but it's clear what they called and why imo. Sent from my VZW Note 3

But the ball was tipped up and technically was still in play, so he made sure his man didn't catch it though. If they start calling flags on shoves there should be one on every play. It is more inconsistent officiating.

How many of those shoves are out of the field of play? I think that's why this got a flag. Shove some guy for 5 yards in the middle of the field and they yellow stays in their pocket.

yeah the ball definitely was still in the air ... the flag didn't come until his fellow official holding the down marker got hit

Nothing like defenders injuring their teammates with overkill hits.

Seems to be a lot of injury timeouts.

Niners are in trouble if they can't start passing. Seattle seems to have shored up their run d against him.
